Recap
Cape Verde will have no problems to qualify for the ACN in Ivory Coast. They did the obvious in the game against Togo, winning by 2:0 and in case they win the next two matches against the Eswatini amateurs they might secure the second place in the group. Striker Ryan Mendes who plays for Al Nasr is the most famous player in this roster. He is the one who will be asked to carry the team, as experienced forward Julio Tavares withdrew for personal reasons. Also, here is Garry Rodrigues (Olympiacos), together with many players who are playing in Portugal (Cape Verde is a former Portuguese colony). Eswatini is one of the weakest teams on the continent. There are no hopes of qualifying for the final stage of any competition. All players are playing in their amateur domestic league, and today main defenders M’Honda and Tuala are out due to suspension. The quality of the roster is noticeable and Cape Verde should score an easy victory.
